EVENTS, WEBINARS, TV PROGRAMS, & FILMS:


MONDAY DECEMBER 11, INVENTING PEACE, CBC RADIO IDEAS, 8 pm & 4am CBC RADIO 1 (also online after the first broadcast)

At a time of deadly, bitter conflict, we consider what it takes to make peace. How does a peace process begin? We speak to an experienced mediator and two former heads of state who helped to end some of the world's most intractable conflicts. They discuss how to get warring sides beyond the dehumanization and rage; the role of victims; and the unavoidable tension between attaining justice and inventing peace.
